Sporting double winner set for Turkish move, all but confirmed | OneFootball

Sporting is about to see Ricardo Esgaio leave, as he heads to Karagümrük. The Alvalade Club continues to take advantage of the final hours of the transfer market to resolve some situations regarding the surplus players under Rui Borges' command.

The information is reported by the newspaper Record. According to the national press, Ricardo Esgaio was left out of the squad for the game against Porto because he is very close to reaching an agreement to terminate his contract with the Alvalade Club, which precedes his move to a new team.

This is the stage where negotiations to define Ricardo Esgaio's future are at. The number 47 of the lions is very close to reaching this agreement with Sporting and heading to Karagümrük, a club that occupies the 11th position in the Turkish league, with which he already has an agreement to sign.

The national press also reports that Ricardo Esgaio had several offers on the table to continue his professional career - two from Brazil, and two others from Turkey. In the end, Karagümrük was the choice of the right-back, who will head to a league where he was close to playing in the past.

It is worth remembering that Ricardo Esgaio's departure from Sporting was predictable, as throughout the transfer window there were reports pointing in that direction. The player ends a very long association with the lions, after seeing Rui Borges' squad with increasingly less space for him to be useful to the Portuguese coach.
